ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s regulatory and industry experts have a proven track record of successfully developing and validating fit-for-purpose, accurate, and reliable analytical methods based on established CDER/ICH and FDA guidelines and procedures for highly complex formulations and sample matrices.
Analytical method development, validation, and transfer are integral to any small or large molecule drug development program. Analytical methods can be developed to establish the identity, potency, physical characteristics, and purity of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in compounded dosage forms, as well as identify and quantify impurities, excipients, intermediates, raw materials, preservatives, antioxidants, and more. To establish consistent scientific soundness of a method and ultimately safeguard patient safety, any analytical methods used to analyze drug products or drug substances for regulatory submissions must be validated, as required by regulatory agencies at various stages of the drug development and approval process. Rigorous method validation establishes the accuracy, precision, linearity, specificity, selectivity, limits of detection and quantitation, and robustness of an analytical method.
Our flexible and customized solutions, including phase-appropriate analytical method development and validation, are tailored to meet your specific needs throughout the drug development lifecycle, from early-stage protocols to late-stage quality control method optimization.
GMP analytical method verification, transfer and optimization
Monograph and compendial methods found in pharmacopeias have been validated, and unless stated otherwise, full validation is not required prior to use. However, verification is needed to confirm that the method is suitable for its intended purpose, including the specific drug product, substance matrix, and use conditions. Our consultative analytical method development services team has extensive experience and expertise in method verification techniques, including those detailed in USP <1226> Verification of Compendial Procedures.
When you partner with ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, analytical method transfers are smooth and efficient with standard operating procedures and protocols, whether products require comparative testing or inter-laboratory method validation. Our consultative analytical experts are available to train teams at receiving sites, ensuring regulatory requirements are met, including those detailed in USP <1224> Transfer of Analytical Procedures. Similarly, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ can easily carry out the transfer of developed methods to production sites, and our highly skilled method development scientists can seamlessly transfer existing analytical methods into our laboratories for direct testing use and/or optimization.
